Storytelling in content marketing isn’t about telling a long story…it’s about making your message meaningful. Start with why something matters to you and weave in personal details to make it relatable. Ex: Instead of saying, “Make this pasta for dinner,” you could say, “My mom made this pasta every Friday when I was growing up & I still crave it to this day.” See the difference? The second version feels more personal, engaging, and memorable. That’s the power of storytelling in content.
Yes!! That’s such a great point! So many people think storytelling and think they have to write a novel 🫠
Shannon McKinstrie- Crazy how a small details can turn content into connection. Storytelling really is the secret sauce :)
Making it connect and meaningful is what I struggle with with Shannon McKinstrie. I like how your rephrased this one here.
Shannon McKinstrie Personal stories create an emotional connection.
yesss! its about connection, its about empathy
So true! Making a message meaningful is what cuts through the noise.
Well said Shannon McKinstrie People connect with real stories which in turn drive sales
Spot on, Shannon! "Make this pasta..." = "don't tell me what to do". "My mom made this pasta every Friday..." = "Ooo, what is it? I bet it's spaghetti."
